Aggies Can Help School
If Compliment Is Honored
The Fort Worth police chief has paid
Aggies a compliment that they should not
forget.
He has said that A&M students have al
ways acted like gentlement during a Foit
Worth corps trip. He believes they always
will.
If the A&M students will live up to the
chief’s expectations this weekend, they not
only will help the reputation of their school
but possibly save themselves and others from
physical injury.
Fort Worth, like other cities, has its
hoodlums who attack people for no other
reason than the enjoyment they get from
the beatings. Uniforms seem always to at
tract this element.
Therefore the student body should stay
on its guard, not only to protect itself—but
to make certain it does nothing to provoke
trouble.
This can be done if students honor the
police chief’s compliment. There is nothing
wrong in fighting back if one is wronged.
But to start trouble is to endanger a school’s
reputation and the lives of persons involved.
The hoodlums have already made their
reputation. No Aggie should be selfish
enough to want to take any of it away from
them.
